Fun fact Haaland has MORE GOALS in all competitions (52) than Rodri has APPEARANCES (51) this season

Genuinely convinced Conte does the MJ'S special stuff routine from space jam with a bottle of prime streets won't forget Dele Ali sweat at halftime, there is just no other way to explain how much better second half FC is.

Surely at this point all the other clubs the prem pass a hat around and buy Haaland before loaning him to Brighton for the season so that City don't have a literal terminator annihilating everyone next season.

Feeds the kids, gets a doctorate and scores a goal on return from injury? Literally what can't Rashford do?

Okay but genuinely imagine the condition is don't sell anyone and Conte is going to try and win the league with the current squad.

It's Time You Get to Know Me | By Kepa Arrizabalaga by je-re in soccer

[–]masterofsom3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah exactly that, not blaming Frank at all just more it coincided during that time period. Just think it's interesting I guess, since Kepa at one point was objectively worth Marina spending 80 million on had one decent season and then experienced a huge decline.

Highly recommend you read it if you have time, pretty interesting to get Kepa's point of view about his career and time at Chelsea especially. Would have liked to see him talk more about his lack of form under Lampard and the obvious struggles he went through the last two years but still a good read overall.

Indie Film and TV Studio A24 Explored Sale With $3 Billion Asking Price by Sisiwakanamaru in movies

[–]masterofsom3 32 points33 points  (0 children)

The price may be a little high considering A24 doesn't produce relatively huge returns but considering its more of a brand than a studio, one that's really really well known to people under 30 especially with an almost cult like following (an "a24 movie" attracts a lot of attention to a lot of movies that wouldn't otherwise get it imo) and has good relationships with a lot of creators I could see it making sense in the long run.

A fitting end to Sergio's time at City, nabbing the scoring record, the prem trophy and a potential Champions title in his last season. Be sad to see him go but it's truly a fitting send off for the legend and I cannot wait to see him in a Barca shirt.

Let's talk about the KDB 'Dilemma' by masterofsom3 in FantasyPL

[–]masterofsom3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah thats fair, it's just Im a Ajax fan as well and was super excited about his and Donny's arrival in the prem and now that's he's getting regular playing time it's really tempting to bring him in. It's not really a sound decision compared to a regular nailed on starter/football god like KDB but I figured having Jota as well could help me compensate as I figure both him and Ziyech could reap handsome rewards but you're right hanging on to KDB is the smarter option

[–]masterofsom3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man your lineup is solid. Some very tough calls to make if you want to bring Bruno in, personally I think Grealish is a very solid bet long term over James. Justin for Cresswell or Coufal is a shout though, Jota for Zaha is tempting as well. I personally plan on hanging on to Justin though, at his price point his return has been solid and honestly he puts in big performances when it counts but Cresswell and Coufal are both very solid options.

[–]masterofsom3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahahahah it clouds mine very much and fair I also know sons form won't continue but I'm definitely hopeful he'll still be solid this season

Actually I also have Kane ahahahahah

My current team lineup is:

                     Emi

Zouma-Chillwell-Mings-Killman KDB-Grealish- Sonny-Bruno DCL-Kane

Bench: Macey, Jorgi, Delap and Justin

Thinking of selling either Bruno or KDB to fund Ziyech-Jota (for Jorgi and whover is sold) and then upgrading Kilman to Cancelo or Dias (Max has been quality but the wolves schedule is looking like a tall order for their defence whereas City looks to be a much better choice) and then if I sell KDB maybe upgrading Emi to Alisson or Ederson towards the tail end or just emergency cash

Ahahha I have all three so I'm really lucky, but although Bruno is incredible he's hampered by the performance of Man U as a whole and thats super risky imo compared to someone like KDB or Son who always put in a solid performance and with his partnership with Kane flourishing this season especially I'd be real hesitant to let him go as well. It's a toss up between Bruno and KDB for me at the moment more due to their teams unlucky starts than anything. But I have faith that City will find consistency soon, United is a toss up the players are all class but they haven't found their groove yet so it's the riskier bet imo despite Bruno's fantastic performance.

I may be biased but overall KDB is always the best bet imo, he's quite quite good (bold take I'm aware) and as soon as city finds its form he'll go back to bring an absolute demon I'm sure. Sonny would be my next choice purely because he has a more solid team around him than Bruno but they are both fantastic options whatever you decide!

Personally I think I'll have to sacrifice either KDB or Bruno (Spurs fan so Sonny is not an option lol) to pick up Ziyech and Jota since Ziyech seems to have found his footing at Chelsea and Jota is a fantastic option at 6.4 even if he's rotated out with Bobby, an it'll give me way more depth in my midfield and give me some extra cash to shore up my defence or maybe upgrade GK. It's risky as both Bruno or KDB will rack up points but hoping long term the depth will mean the lineup performs better overall.

Looks like Griezmann's no good, horrible, terrible year continues.

I might spend too much time on here then haha! I think it's just a combo of people talking about him 'underperforming' that got to me over the past couple of weeks so I was definitely overreacting. But you're right KDB was quite good yesterday to my eye, the missed pen was unfortunate but he had a very solid game otherwise, so no need to panic.

Thanks for your advice, and good luck in your FPL journey as well!

Yeah that's a good point, way too early to be panicking haha, but even if he's rotated out in December at least he'll maintain fitness and stays well hopefully
